As someone who is also getting a late start, it's nice to hear that Glenn wasn't in his early 20's when he broke into the industry. Even the amazing Stan Lee didn't get his break until he was 40! Maybe I shouldn't be so down about beginning in my 30's. :) Thank you for sharing, Stan!

you are NOT alone , :-) . At my early 30s i was like "my job makes me hate my life, and that needs to change" , so after a looot of searching, i rediscovered that i feel happy when i am drawing (among other things). Now at 36 i am studying how to draw, and i am having a blast, hopefully at some point drawing will be my new profession. Dont get discouraged, keep drawing !!!!!

Hey, know I'm three years late but: I hate just about all kinds of work that isn't design and illustration related. I started at 30. A year later, after non-stop work I've gotten a few freelance assignments. It's tough work, but doable. I'd argue that at 60 or 70 or 80 or 90...if you just have a few weeks to a few years left of life in you, it is NEVER too late to make art. The life expectancy of an individual during the Italian Renaissance was 60 if you were lucky and/or wealthy, but much less if you weren't. If you think of it that way, starting at 30 - if you live until 70 - gives you enough time to learn and make a living from your art. You'll be actively learning and living art 2-3x longer Raphael was alive. Alive longer than Caravaggio. You can do it. We all can.

Mike Pelosi hey Mike. You have no idea how encouraging that is to hear. How was it you found your freelance clients? Was it a cold pitch, we're they people you knew IRL, or was it on a job board like fiverr etc? Thanks! I'm trying to find a way to find clients while competing with other freelancers immensely more experienced.

In the summer of 2007, I saw Glenn Vilppu's body painting instructional video for the first time. It was my third year of work. Although I have studied painting for ten years before, I have never had a deep understanding of human body painting through the explanation of Glenn Vilppu video. I didn't have the ability to understand English at the beginning, but I have learned a lot from the pictures. Thank you Glenn Vilppu and hope you are healthy. Greetings from Chinese students.

This guy was the first teacher that actually helped me, following his gesture lesssons I made the first drawing ever that I was actually proud of and I was impressed by myself. That feeling is what pumpes me everyday in drawing and painting and it`s a lot of his "fault" for that! Thank you Villpu!

Glenn, Proko, thank you for this video. I learnt a very valuable thing, the tip to look for a book that exemplifies an aspect of art that you like (eg colour) and do that for every aspect of art, and that combined is "you" or your prefered style. What a fun assignment, to look for stuff I like in order to figure out what I love most. Great thanks!

I like how you say one of the most pleasurable parts of being an artist is learning. I'm endlessly fascinated by studying other artists, trying to figuring out how they do things, and accumulating new tricks. A couple weeks ago I was at my brother's place and he found me watching one of your videos. "You can already draw like that guy" he said. "Why are you watching this?" "Well, why do think *he* can draw so well"? I said. I'll still be trying to learn new tricks when I'm eighty.

To study: Study old masters an hour in am. Draw or paint.. live model if possible. Don't look at hand when you draw to let eye move over model at the speed of hand (Hand Eye coordination). If you draw/paint from photos you have to know MORE than from a live model .. It's more difficult so you had better know your anatomy and know how to INTERPRET what you see.. not copy. Use what you know from anatomy and from experience of live sketches to take a photo from 2D to 3D. (Not an easy assignment.) Thanks Proko. Nice interview. Marshall V must have gone crazy in Vilpuu's class trying to figure all this out. Vandruff HAS to figure out everything! So much of Vilpuu is just pure genius...That is why with so many of his teachings out there, no one can do what he does quite like him. We want the magic bullet to find the way, but his marks are like another language.

I`ll ype this in english because I also hate when people flood with native languages. Don`t be upset you didn`t go to art high-school...most people I know that have been there suck tons of balls, I don`t know what they are taught there, but definitely not what they need in order to draw. I studied maths in high-school but started with Gnomon and Vilppu DVDs and I think it worked far better (not to brag, it`s just what I noticed over the time)
